Easy French Bread Pizza
Transform day-old French bread into a budget-friendly, customizable pizza with your favorite toppings and fresh mozzarella.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 loaf day-old French bread (discounted bread from Jimmy John's recommended)
- 2 tablespoons your favorite pizza sauce
- 1-2 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese as desired
- Your choice of toppings: pepperoni, mushrooms, spinach, sausage, etc.
- Fresh basil leaves for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Bread: Take a loaf of day-old French bread and slice it down the center lengthwise. This creates two halves, each serving as a base for your pizza.
- Add the Sauce: Spread a tablespoon or two of your favorite pizza sauce on each half of the bread. Be cautious with the amount; too much sauce can make the bread soggy.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Place slices of fresh mozzarella cheese over the sauced bread. Then, unleash your creativity by adding your preferred toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, spinach, or sausage.
- Bake the Pizza Bread: Place the prepared bread in the preheated oven. Bake until the cheese melts and starts to bubble, creating a deliciously gooey texture. This should take about 10-15 minutes, but keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, add a final touch of flavor and color with some fresh basil leaves. These can be whole leaves or chopped, depending on your preference.
- Enjoy: Your easy French bread pizza is now ready to be devoured! This quick, budget-friendly meal is perfect for a busy weeknight or a casual gathering with friends.
